Spoiler Alert!!!

BuddyTV reports: This fall, NBC’s The Office welcomes one of the series’ original creators, Stephen Merchant.  In fact, last week, Merchant took a spot behind the camera to shoot the show’s Halloween episode.  The Office was originally created by the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning Merchant, alongside Ricky Gervais, the English comedian, writer, director and actor behind The Ricky Gervais Show.

“He was in the writers room with us rewriting over the last several days,” The Office writer-producer-actor Paul Lieberstein said of Merchant in a conference call with reporters Monday. “It was really exciting having him there.”
